Congrats on posting!

just upgraded from dnn 7.4.2 to 8.0.4.

got this error on repository:
    Error: Repository is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException:       
    C:\inetpub\wwwroot\JAGUWebsite\DesktopModules\Repository\Repository.ascx(2): error BC30469: Reference to a non- 
        shared member requires an object reference.

it was originally repository version 3.5.6, but upgraded to repository v4.0 then 4.1 to no avail (still same error above).

I then uninstalled repository module
and installed version 4.0 again, but still get same error when adding new module to a page.

I notice that you refer to DNN 8.0.4. I also saw some conversation in the Repository area of GitHub in which Ilpo mentions that you probably need to upgrade to DNN9. And, I also saw a new release this morning. Possible 4.1.1 and DNN 9 will help you.

just upgraded to dnn 9.3 and it;s better. No error message and i can add a repository module to the page.

although, it's quite flakey. Difficult to move all modules on the page and they sometimes dissapear after a few refreshes (or more likely, they do not save in the first place).

Same thing happens for different modules on different browsers - Edge and Chrome.

I might upgrade to DNN 9.7.1 (although, i think that requires asp.net 4.8 and we're on asp v4.0)

You should bring it up to the most current version, a lot of UI issues have been fixed since 9.3.

Happy DNNing!

just upgraded to the latest version of DNN - 9.7.2 and also using Repository module version 4.1.0

Still have the same issues - whereby new modules can not be added and saved to a page. As soon as a new module is added - the ability to edit and move any module is taken away.

There must be something wrong with my installation. Other than re-creating a brand new DNN installation from scratch - I don't know what else I can do.

(we do have another dnn installation for a different website on a different server and that works ok)

i've just read somewhere (https://www.dnncreative.c...f_default%2fNo+Skin) that if the zip file of the upgrade folder wasn't unblocked then it might cause a problem - i've just checked and all the recent upgrades have the grey 'unblock' button. but none of the upgrades reported a problem in the upgrade status report.

could this be an issue?
